Color on ship

The crew worked hard today to sandblast the galvanized surfaces in preparation for paint and then lay a coat of primer and two base coats of colour onto the first Viking ship hull. The change was instant and made even more dramatic by the last pieces in front of it which still are to go to the galvanizers. Tomorrow, the final pieces of the frame belonging to the second half of this ship will be assembled and the process of sculpting will begin by Thursday at the latest.
